Season 6 | BONUS: How did they know the time in the Middle Ages?

Scandals, greed, revenge and sex: historian Dan Jones tells the story of the Plantagenets, one of the most powerful and dysfunctional families in European history.

Season 7 sees boy-king Richard II take the throne and put the dynasty in jeopardy like never before. The people will rise in a bloody revolt as Richard, once hailed as a messiah, turns magnificent and murderous tyrant. 

Richard will soon find himself pitted against his chivalrous cousin, Henry Bolingbroke, in an extraordinary tale of boyhood companions turned deadly rivals. The pair are history’s ultimate frenemies whose lives become locked in an existential struggle for supremacy – with fatal consequences for anyone who gets caught in between them.

You can now become a Royal Favourite on our Patreon! Weigh in on topics we should cover, access exclusive AMA with Dan, take part in competitions and nerd out with fellow history buffs in our official chat room. Find out more at patreon.com/thisishistory
